Justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.@Romans 5:9

Oswald J. Smith (1889-1986)

Oswald J. Smith, 1917. This song was first sung in Paul Rader’s 1919 evangelistic crusade at Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada. Walking the aisles selling souvenir song books (one of the first to contain the song) was a young man, out of work, and sunk in the depths of discouragement. It was Oswald Smith. When the 3,400 attendees sang until, in his words, it seemed as though they would lift the roof, it greatly encouraged him with the thought that God was not going to put me on the shelf.
